Under the Virginia criminal code, theft or vandalizing a political sign is considered petit larceny and is categorized as a Class 1 misdemeanor, punishable by up to 12 months in jail and a $2,500 fine.
It has been reported to the Mirror that last weekend, one of Jacqueline “Jackie” Chatmon’s Old Cape Charles Road political road signs mysteriously vanished. The race for District One Supervisor is hotly contested, but there are indications that things are becoming unsavory.
